Guilt..and a lot of it.
Wednesday, December 29th, 200433,000 total dead in Asia. Most of us by now have heard this news. Your head has to be buried in sand not to have seen this news. The news and the images are everywhere.

I feel powerless that I’m not able to do anything about what I feel at this moment.

My interviews, my shopping list for India, my travel arrangements, my…I think you get my point. Even now life goes on, am in a Starbucks cafe having spent some money on a cup of Joe which could buy somebody next meal for the next couple of days.
